About Me : After having my second child Charlotte, I decided to leave my position as an executive at a large apparel company to launch my own consulting agency The Current Agency with Jamie Koustas (another Hey Mama member) specializing in planning and merchandising, brand building in the apparel and beauty industry. This was a huge and very scary move for me, but one I needed to make in order to control my own destiny and allow me to be both the professional and mother I want to be... I have to say after about 9 months of being out on my own and hustling and seeing the rewards of helping other companies achieve their goals, I have never felt prouder of myself and our growing business and the fact that I can take my son to school, be present at a karate practice, all things I wasn't able to do in my "previous life". While I sometimes miss some of the perks that come with working for a large company, I wouldn't trade my current path for the world. Its enabled me to be more present with my family and myself.
